Sunday Funnies - Shakes, Stars, & Signs

I saw this image floating around on Facebook but couldn't locate the original source, though I will link to one place I found it here as it seems they come by it honest.  You have to scroll down a bit to find it but the New York Theater site could probably use the traffic.

Also, I stumbled over a College Humor YouTube video on "Which is Nerdier: Star Wars or Star Trek?" Enjoy!

Finally, it is sad to have to share that Phil Austin of Firesign Theater has passed but here's a taste of his great Nick Danger to ease the grieving.  Laugh it up!
